I used an Edelbrock when I did my engine last year. Simple install.
That said, if you're that far into it, you should go ahead and get the cam that I got. It runs smooth as the stock L-98 cam, but with more lift you get a wider RPM range out of it. No loss in mileage or driveablity.

Or for only the $13 more does it make more sense to get the sprockets as well?
This engine has 63K miles on it and looks really clean on the inside. I have the intake off of it also.

Don't quibble over 13 bucks. Get it a fixed

I'm not considering a cam change. I'm fixing this up for my wife to drive and more power would mean nothing to her.
Been doing some more looking and I saw that Cloyes makes a "heavy duty" timing chain set which is a single roller (C3092).
I think the double roller may be overkill for me but I think maybe the single roller might make sense. I can get one on ebay for $46.66 and free shipping.
Agree?

Been reading that double roller chain is way overkill for a street engine. It does seem like a single roller would be better than the original type though.
Plus, my wife will drive this very gently. I doubt the accellerator will ever hit the floor.

This engine will stay completely stock.

I considered a Cloyes double roller but decided it was overkill for my stock strictly street driven car. One interesting thing I found is that the stock chain is used on multiple GM cars and you can find a better deal by searching for the part number. I bought mine from a Buick site.
